Özet

Background: Matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a powerful technique for the rapid identification of bacteria from growing colonies in routine cultures. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of a 5-hour incubation on solid medium after sub-cultivation of positive blood culture broth without any preparation steps in order to speed up the identification of bacteria.
